YouTube is the most popular platform for watching video content.
However, not everyone knows that the site collects user data, constantly improving its algorithms. Much of the content on YouTube just gets passed by because the site doesn’t display it – instead, it promotes popular channels, discriminating against many new creators. TOP-5 sites in category “YouTube alternative”:
Vimeo
Vimeo is a platform created by short and feature film directors. The content on it is very different from the content on YouTube. Meme lovers won’t find anything interesting here. Vimeo hosts a wealth of inspiring and creative work from filmmakers, musicians and photographers. The site is full of beautiful, ambitious, independent animations, documentaries, and travel videos.
Vimeo is a powerful platform for creators to interact with the community. This video hosting does not show annoying ads, its interface is easy to use, as well as the comment and subscription system. In addition, the Vimeo media player provides high quality video – including 4K Ultra HD.
Rumble
Rumble is a media platform that has been around since 2013. Its peculiarity is that it does not use algorithms that discriminate against creators, unlike YouTube, which often “buries” content in search results and makes it invisible to a wide audience. Rumble strives to treat all users who post content to the site equally. The platform offers a variety of content, from social podcasts to short, funny animal videos.
Dailymotion
Dailymotion is one of YouTube’s biggest competitors. Many users who have opted out of posting their content on Google’s platform are most likely to switch to it. The site has a clear interface, content categories and everything you need to enjoy your favorite videos. Unlike YouTube, Dailymotion does not compress videos, so the quality of the uploaded content remains high. The service is also an alternative to YouTube Android and iOS – it has a dedicated app for mobile devices.
Twitch
Twitch is one of the most famous media platforms on the internet. It is owned by Amazon Corporation and has been steadily gaining popularity since 2011. Twitch is a service dedicated to live streaming and the content it shares is mostly PC games. Authors working on this platform have the opportunity to earn through affiliate programs and viewer donations, the so-called “donations”. Twitch also has a lot of other content besides games, such as live streams of artists painting and interacting with fans.
TED
TED is a non-profit organization created to share knowledge and experience with others. The video platform contains numerous recordings of conferences and lectures on a variety of topics – social, technological, scientific. TED is a great alternative to YouTube for those who want to learn something new or simply listen to the opinions of experts in various fields.
